Slim The Mobster - Dreaming ft. Nikki Grier
Ab-Soul - Pineal Gland
Overdoz - Don’t Wanna Be Your Girlfriend ft. Skeme
Husalah - Since 88
Lil B took the stage close to 8:30 p.m. with only one plan: no plan. “It’s just real. I’m just happy you guys are getting the real me. No pen, no pad. I didn’t script a speech. I come here and all I can do is be myself and spread love,” Lil B told those in attendance. His talk was an 80-minute long stream of consciousness interwoven with golden rules (“everybody make sure you wear seat belts”), recent revelations (“And he was like, “You know what has changed?” And he was like, “Your attitude.” And that was deep, bro!”), news (“But look out for my Lil B rock album, “California Boy”), biological observations, and words of wisdom that my mother gifted me with when I was knee-high. When I wasn’t raising my hand, as if in church, I looked over to see how others in attendance were taking in Lil B’s talk. Billboard’s Social/Streaming Chart Manager, William Gruger, would bust out laughing at his hilarious antics every seven minutes. Fellow writer, Steven Horowitz, stayed DM’ing words of encouragement to Lil B through out the night. Grantland’s Rembert Browne and Buzzfeed’s Lindsey Weber couldn’t tweet Lil B’s words fast enough, ultimately screaming out “No!,” in unison, when the talk came to a close. Below is an audio clip of Lil B’s NYU lecture in it’s entirety. Press play, soak it in and let me know how you feel in the comments.

No Holding Back: A Day In The Life Of ScHoolboy Q
E-40 - Fast Lane
E-40 - Memory Lane (feat. Andre Nickatina)
More Gutta 40 water down the menu!
Philthy Rich - Moving Birds ft. Waka Flocka Flame & YG Hootie
Philthy, Waka & Yg spit coke raps over a fairly smooth beat
Shady Blaze - Intro Quick Time
Ab-Soul - Showin Love
Soul’s appearance is very misleading. Before I ever heard him rap I thought his shit was gonna be mad goofy and he would be the weak link of Black Hippy, but hes arguably one of the dopest in that crew
Schoolboy Q f/ Ab Soul - “Druggys Wit Hoes Again” (TDE, 2012)
The best or second best track from Habits and Contradictions gets the video treatment. I almost wish Q would’ve gone all the way in and done a full length of this sort of lanky electro.
Cookie Coma by Hodgy Beats
Not that I’m trying to incite a musical debate, but Hodgy Beats, aside from Earl Sweatshirt (because he is God), is arguably the best rapper from the Odd Future outfit. This past weekend, Hodgy released an untitled EP for free that features his most precise and focused work to date. Despite the fact the EP is free, top-notch producers like the Alchemist, Flying Lotus, Juicy J, and Thelonious Martin lend their hands to this excellent—albeit fleeting (only 22 minutes)—piece. “Cookie Coma”, produced by the Alchemist, is a jazzy, warm track that’ll make you want to bust out some iced-bourbon while listening to Hodgy’s dizzying and impressive word manipulations: “To do infinity, I’m the remedy to a penalty/ For once I take this shit genially, generally/ I’m takin’ shots like Kennedy, like fuck the enemy.”
